Health Spending in ASEAN (1995)
3.61% Average % of GDP
Health Spending in ASEAN (2010)
4.12% Average % of GDP
Infant Mortality in ASEAN (1995)
38.8 Per 1,000 live births
Infant Mortality in ASEAN (2010)
21.9 Per 1,000 live births
The relationship between health spending and infant mortality in ASEAN countries during 1995-2010 shows several important patterns:
General Trend: Countries with higher health spending tend to have lower infant mortality rates, though the relationship isn’t perfectly linear.
Progress: All ASEAN countries showed improvements in infant mortality rates between 1995 and 2010, regardless of changes in health spending.
Outliers:
Diverse Approaches: The data reveals different national strategies - some countries increased health spending significantly (Malaysia, Vietnam), while others maintained or slightly reduced spending while still improving outcomes.

This dashboard presents an analysis of healthcare indicators across ASEAN countries from 1995 to 2010, focusing on two key metrics:
Total Health Spending (% of GDP): This indicator measures the proportion of a country’s GDP allocated to healthcare, reflecting national priorities and investment in health systems.
Infant Mortality Rate (per 1,000 live births): A critical indicator of population health and healthcare quality, representing the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births.
The data is sourced from Gapminder’s global development indicators database, which compiles information from various international organizations including WHO, World Bank, and UN agencies.
This analysis covers 8 of the 10 ASEAN countries (Brunei Darussalam and Lao PDR were not included due to data limitations) and examines both the absolute values and the changes over the 15-year period.
The dashboard is designed to highlight: - Regional trends in health spending and outcomes - Country-specific progress and challenges - The relationship between financial investment and health outcomes - Patterns of healthcare development across Southeast Asia
